GOCE已于2009年3月17日推出。这是欧空局生命星球计划的第一颗卫星。它的目标是更好地了解地球系统。GOCE的任务目标是以高精度和最大空间分辨率确定地球重力场和大地水准面。大地水准面与20年来卫星雷达测高得出的实际平均海洋表面相结合，将产生全球动态海洋地形。它将服务于海洋环流和海洋运输研究以及海平面研究。GOCE大地水准面高度将允许将GPS高度转换为高于海平面的高精度高度。来自GOCE的重力异常将用于重力密度比的反演，特别是用于研究地球岩石圈和上地幔。
GOCE has been launched on March 17, 2009. It is the first satellite of ESA’s Living Planet Programme. It is aiming at a better understanding of the Earth system. The mission objective of GOCE is the determination of the Earth’s gravity field and geoid with high accuracy and maximum spatial resolution. The geoid, combined with the actual mean ocean surface as derived from twenty years of satellite radar altimetry, will yield global dynamic ocean topography. It will serve ocean circulation and ocean transport studies and sea level research. GOCE geoid heights will allow conversion of GPS heights to high precision heights above sea level. Gravity anomalies from GOCE will be used for gravity-to-density inversion and in particular for studies of the Earth’s lithosphere and upper mantle.
